Lucky number 7! Josh and Ryan talk about vaccines and recap the week in news, including the West Virginia teachers' strike, Xi and Putin making bad man moves, and a shocking report that some African-Americans were still living in slavery as late as the 1970s. We also talk about Clayton Hee shaking up the Hawaii governor's race, take a mailbag question about the opioid crisis in Hawaii, and debut our newest feature: BIKILEAKS!

Then, at 27:33, we talk to Rufino Magliba, former Congressional aide extraordinaire, about his journey from Waimanalo to Washington, what life is like as a member of the Hawaii Delegation, and his current work bringing new education technology to Hawaii's schools.

We end with some shoutouts to diaper politics, Rick Ross, and our restaurant picks of the week (with a special tribute to the late great Colin Nishida, owner of Side Street Inn).  Check it out!

Episode 8 - Goodbye Lenin, Aloha Nadine!

Lindsay and Brandon talk about how their communities are responding to the COVID crisis, how haole fragility is making Hawaii's response to COVID-19 less effective, the bright spots they've seen in their communities' responses to this crisis, and mention some great resources for anyone (especially Native Hawaiians) impacted by the COVID crisis.
